Johnson S. Silver Spring, MD: Nursesbooks.org; 2015. Paperback; 108 pages. ISBN: 978-1558105836

Many books focus on who Florence Nightingale was and her accomplishments as a nurse. This little book uses her thought process to help managers (both new and experienced) address the modern issues of health care, such as coordination of care, communication and collaboration, ethical practice, and patient safety. Each chapter starts with Florence’s Role and uses that context to describe the Nurse Manager’s Role in health care today.
